Born in New York City in 1965, Kevin Kinane has been playing drums ever since the doctor slapped him in the ass. Moving to Albuquerque, NM in the early 1990's, Kevin found himself lending drum and percussion tracks to countless local acts as well as touring the southwest with the jam band, The Withdrawals. While backing other bands, Kevin was always honing his skills on piano, harmonica and guitar and in 1997 he picked up the Chapman Stick (12 string guitar/bass combination)…hence the official birth of Daddy Long Loin. Simultaneously playing the stick, harmonica, keyboard and drum set with his feet, Daddy Long Loin is a true one man big band…add original songs about food, pets, bad drivers, dirty politicians, bathrooms and cell phone users with samples, throat singing and funky jams and you complete the picture for this truly original and hilarious act.

Kevin also makes his living creating and teaching music on junk instruments as his other alternative persona - Recycleman. Attaining inspiration from his "white trash backyard" where Daddy writes new songs and Recycleman creates new instruments, Daddy is a home body who likes to travel. "When working around town, Recycleman can't wait to get home and when he's home, Big Daddy's always talking about touring". Ideally, Kevin would like a nice 50/50 split "as long as I have a driver-I hate to drive".
The music of Daddy Long Loin has been described as "Zappa meets Tom Waits with a hillbilly/hip hop undercurrent" (NM Alibi/2004). With his energetic and hilarious circus style act, Big Daddy has become a local living legend in Albuquerque and is just now preparing to spread his loin around the world. In 2004 Big Daddy recorded three CD's entitled "Got Loin", "Right Place Loin Time", and "Aloin Again…Naturally". In 2005 he took selections from each disc and created the seventeen song compilation CD titled "#1". It cannot be found in stores and is only available on line in paper back form. Daddy likes cartoons, cereal, green chile and animals. He is not a vegetarian and Johnny Depp will portray him on the big screen in the year 2014.
